It’s reported that the late evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, had a room behind the pulpit called the “Powerhouse”. The “Powerhouse” was a small room where a few saints gathered to pray while the Minister was preaching.

     Elijah was one of those larger than life kind of people. Just about everything he did had a dramatic flair. Personally, I think that a little bit of Elijah would have gone a long way.

     The book of Acts has been called the Acts of the Apostles. When you read the pages of Acts you come to see the audacity and boldness of these unrelenting men. They preach and teach the word of God with boldness. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and did signs and wonders. The Church grew by leaps and bounds and flourished with unity and great grace. The Church grew exponentially.

     The late Myles Munroe once said, “Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day…”. I understand this sentiment. Our choices matter. However, much of life also is determined by circumstances beyond our control. No one chooses cancer. No person in their right mind opts to be injured seriously in an automobile accident. Yet the manner by how we respond to such situations determine what life will look like for each of us. So, yes, our choices do matter.
